Simon Ward, The High Performance Human Triathlon Podcast
Health & Fitness
Right, swimming! It’s probably the discipline that frustrates triathletes most. It takes years of regular pool time to make even small gains. There is so much noise out there that choosing the right path for yourself is a big task. I’m fortunate to be at the front end of the triathlon swim, but everyone needs help which is why I turned to this week's guest, swim coach Josh Spencer, to help me understand why my shoulder was hurting after each swim. Josh highlighted some technical flaws and gave me some drills to help correct the problem. On chatting with Josh it turns out that we're pretty aligned in our approach to helping swimmers improve, and I really wanted to share some of his knowledge with you in this episode. There are many topics covered, including some you might find contrary to popular belief:
Josh doesn’t do social media but if you would like to contact him about swim coaching then please email him.
We talked about the swim stroke of Alexander Popov. Please watch this video, there are some really good technical points from 13 minutes onwards.
This is a great video. Probably the best ever men's 200m freestyle race (Athens Olympics 2004) - Thorpe v Van de Hoogenband v Phelps. Just watch the underwater footage of the catch. Almost perfect!!
Josh also recommends the following books:
The Rise of the Ultra Runners: A Journey to the Edge of Human Endurance by Adharanand Finn
Lifespan: Why We Age and Why We Don’t Have To by David Sinclair
